Wiener estimation method in estimating of spectral reflectance from RGB images

Color is one of the most important features in digital images. The representation of color in digital form with a three-component image (RGB) is not very accurate, hence the use of a multiple-component spectral image is justified. At the moment, acquiring a spectral image is not as easy and as fast as acquiring a conventional three-component image. One answer to this problem is to use a regular digital RGB camera and estimate its RGB image into a spectral image by the Wiener estimation method, which is based on the use of a priori knowledge. In this paper, the Wiener estimation method is used to estimate the spectra of icons. The experimental results of the spectral estimation are presented.
